What a wonder it has been to work with ringers in Spain - and see how different the wildlife is there.
Incredible

Skylarks are ground nesting birds and need your help!
Please stick to the paths and keep your dogs on leads.
We all need to do our part to protect this red listed conservation species.

ALT Image of a saltmarsh sparrow between two branches, one food grasping on each of them, in front of a bright green blurred background, accompanied by a news banner and this information: 2025 U.S. State of the Birds Report Addresses Conservation Needs Across Habitats & Species. Key findings from the new report show that more than one-third of U.S. bird species are of high or moderate conservation concern, including 112 Tipping Point species that have lost more than 50 percent of their populations in the last 50 years.

A top temperature of 17.5c today at Shawbury in #Shropshire, another stunning day forecast tomorrow with temperatures maybe creeping a little higher.
Make the most of it, cold, cloud & rain returns next week.🥶

Great to see this sign on coast of @PembsCoast National Park telling visitors they're entering a wild zone so don't disturb #wildlife. We need MORE #wildlife zones if we want to help #nature recover @IoloWilliams2 @WTSWW @huw4ogmore @AberconwyMS @LlyrGruffydd @WTWales @CThomasMS

She’s still got it.
Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, feeds what might be her 30th chick on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge.
At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds is estimated to have produced 50-60 eggs and 30 chicks that fledged in her lifetime.
